Tottenham Hotspur are poised to bring back Japhet Tanganga from his loan stint at Augsburg.

Despite being on loan to the Bundesliga club, the 24-year-old central defender has yet to feature in any league matches for them.

According to transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano, Spurs are looking to recall the English center-back due to his lack of playing time at Augsburg.

However, the club plans to send him out on loan again, actively seeking a suitable solution for Tanganga.

In an update on X, Romano stated:

“Tottenham have not changed their position on Japhet Tanganga. The plan is to recall the defender as he’s never playing at Augsburg.”

“New loan expected as Spurs want to find solution for Tanganga as soon as possible.”

Tanganga has been associated with the Tottenham Hotspur youth academy since the age of 10, maintaining a fourteen-year connection with the club.

In 2020, he inked a new, ongoing contract with Spurs, extending his commitment until 2025.

He is now being linked with a loan move to Championship, where Spurs will hope that he can get a run of games which would help them sell him on a permanent deal in the summer.
